    155g TAP .308 Casings

    155 TAP with the nickel cases sheems to shoot a tad bit better in my rifle than the 155 Amax Palma match, even though velocities and bullets are supposed to be the same. I have seen other posts talking about the types and charges of powder used. Some say the powder is different between the...

    Nor Cal Precision - History Lessons

    Does anybody know the history of Nor Cal Precision, not the rifle club but the manufacturer/gunsmith? Was someone there named Jerry Rice? Why are they no longer in business? I have a rifle with a rem 700 action that was supposedly trued by Nor Cal Precision. It works well. BN

    Parker Hale Problems

    I have problems with my Parker Hale bipod. It is mounted on a spigot on the front via an Anchutz rail. 1) Legs fall out. I tied them at max exension with 550 cord. Annoying when bipod "self deploys". 2) Loading bipod in prone is almost impossible because: a) round smooth feet slip on...

    Subsonic Speed and Temperature

    Sloppy training with a .22

    I did a quick search and found nothing on this topic: I fire a .22 for practice. I find that I can hold it firmly, or let it freely recoil and get similar results. With a "real rifle" like my .308, this doesn't work. With my .308 a firm tug rearward with my shooting hand holds the rifle...

    Advanced Marksmanship Cheek Weld with Bell and Carlson

    I have a Bell and Carlson adjustable stock, the one with the adjustable cheekpiece. "Model 2094- Remington 700 BDL Varmint/Tactical, Short Action", according to B&C. http://www.bellandcarlson.com/newproducts.html I find the cheekpiece is too wide and too flat on top, without a steep taper...

    Advanced Marksmanship Question - Positioning Butt of Rifle on Shoulder

    What is the correct position to place the butt of the rife against the shoulder? I have shot both prone and sitting/standing by placing the butt against the anterior deltoid muscle and also by placing it closer to the center of my body, more on the top of the pectoral muscle close to the...

    Photos First Build...with help of a retired SEAL at Crane

    Thanks to Hide members for parts. 20-lb. rifle with scope, bipod, and sling. Smooth shooter with little recoil. Homemade suppressor coming soon. To naysayers who told me not to bother building a rifle, enjoy the photos. This is my first build. It shoots well, too. I am still tuning loads...
